Only five miles towards the coast is the well known holiday destination of Beadnell, which offers local facilities including a village shop and family friendly pubs serving good food. Beadnell Bay is a glorious stretch of golden sandy beach and can truly be described as the jewel in Northumberland’s seaside crown; idyllic for a romantic barefoot stroll in the sand to listen to the waves lap against the shoreline and inhale the invigorating sea air... It’s also popular for watersports enthusiasts, try sailing, sea kayaking, wind surfing and scuba diving. A small sandy bay speckled with rocky outcrops leads to a long sandy beach which stretches two miles to the traditional fishing port of Seahouses where boat trips to the nearby Farne Islands, famous for its bird sanctuaries and seal colony, depart regularly from its harbour. Seahouses offers several charming tea rooms, amusements and shops with horse riding; fishing and golf on the links close by being only a sample of the many amenities available in this popular location. A further three miles up the coastline is the picturesque village of Bamburgh, which lies snuggled in the shadow of its majestic fortress and commands the power and presence of the seasoned television set it regularly becomes. Holy Island – the birthplace of Christianity and site of Lindisfarne Castle, can be seen from the unspoilt golden, sandy beach. The bustling market town of Alnwick, with its own dramatic castle (and film location for Harry Potter’s Hogwarts Academy!) is only seven miles south west of Allium. Visitors will enjoy a trip to Alnwick Garden, a spectacular interpretation of a formal garden including the Grand Cascade waterfall and restaurant within the largest tree house in Europe!
Allium is an excellent choice for those seeking a well presented coastal retreat to rest and refresh with easy access to one of the most glorious beaches in Northumberland, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Allium is one of 4 in a row of cottages. It's located in a quiet rural area, and is in a great location for getting to the sea, only a few miles away, and many attractions, such as Alnwick, Bamburgh, Lindisfarne, Seahouses, and many small coastal villages. The cottage is compact and very well equipped. The water comes from a spring but is safe to drink. The garden is lovely and private, and birdsong is the main sound you will hear as you sit and enjoy a relaxing glass of wine. On arrival there was a welcome basket of goodies, including a bottle of prosecco, provided by the owners. We slept very well, as the beds were comfortable, and there was no noise to disturb us. There is parking for one vehicle at the rear, and guests need to be aware that it is a very tight squeeze to get into the space, as other residents need to be able to turn in the adjacent corner. We enjoyed our stay at Allium, and would recommend it to others.

Very nice accommodation. All very comfortable with good stock of books and videos for a rainy day. A nice goodybag of wine and biscuits on my arrival plus a coursity call the day before my arrival. Half a mile from A1 trunk road making days out very easy. Good stock of info leaflets re. places to. visit but one or two updated maps of the area would be useful.

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage had everything we needed. We enjoyed the tranquility and spring bird song in the garden was beautiful. We even spotted hare in the fields … fabulous. Loved this place so much we have already booked again for next year.
